ᐅ Gable windows – we can’t decide.

Hello everyone,

Our shell construction is nearing completion, and we still have the option to redesign the gable window. It costs about €1100 (the first picture), since it is a custom shape. The attic is intended to be converted into living space in the future. We are currently unsure, as option 1 seems a bit expensive (due to the custom shape), but on the other hand, windows are not frequently replaced in the future.

What do you think about the proposals, and could you suggest any other options?

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

the changes are now complete.

Thank you!

My window installer suggested a panoramic window in the living room, which has a certain appeal.

I believe the window might never need to be opened? The terrace should be accessible through the dining room or kitchen window.

Would the view be affected, or what do you think about this?

This is approximately how it currently looks.

Where are the windows on the east and west sides of the living room? It’s like a terraced house.

On the east side, a floor-to-ceiling window measuring 0.8 x 2.25 m (2.6 x 7.4 ft) was installed exactly at the corner between the interior and exterior walls during the construction phase... on the west side (kitchen area), there is a floor-to-ceiling window measuring 1.01 x 2.25 m (3.3 x 7.4 ft).
